C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3

Book Description

"...not only the best book on Qt I have ever seen, but also
the best book presenting any programming framework. Every sentence
appears to be carefully worded, and every chapter has a sound
concept, and so does the work as a whole." --Matthias Ettrich,
Trolltech's lead developer, founder of the KDE project

"The 'Tao of Qt'.... The Qt system is a beautiful example of
object oriented design, and the authors take advantage of this....
The authors have done an excellent job of presenting the subject in
an interesting and engaging way...." --Ron McCarty, Instructor
and Chair of the Department of Computer Science, Penn State Erie,
The Behrend College

The first official Trolltech guide to Qt 3.2 programming!

Straight from Trolltech, this book covers all you need to build
industrial-strength applications with Qt 3.2.x and
C++--applications that run natively on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS
X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes! The book teaches
solid Qt programming practices; it is not a rehash of the
documentation.
